How it works
- We receive a call or text with suspected ICE activity in our communities.
- Our trained team of volunteers responds within minutes, collecting evidence of ICE activity, speaking to the community, and spreading awareness of our rights.
- Our dispatcher sends alerts to the community letting them know where ICE was seen.
- We build community with know your rights trainings, political education, direct outreach, and volunteer sessions.
